Desktop Search from Yahoo!

Now in addition to Copernic, Google, HotBot, MSN, Ask Jeeves, and others, Yahoo! offers a desktop search tool as well. It is based on the X1 technology. It indexes over 200 file types that might be found on a computer including Microsoft Office files, Outlook email, Adobe Acrobat and Photoshop, HTML, WordPerfect, and image, audio, and video files. It requires Windows 2000 SP3+ or XP along with 128MB RAM and at least 50MB free hard disk space.
